Chilean poker! Guess who just owned against 6 Chilean men in a high stakes (4 dollar buy in) poker game? That's right, the only gringa in the room. The game was at my house, served with hot pizza and red wine all around, with a few friends of my family. My brother, another one of my host brothers, my dad, around 5 other of his friends, another girl and myself played for hours on end. There was a whole hour there where I won 4 out of 5 games, and was the only one who did not have to buy back in the whole time! It was awesome, and the red wine was from Santa Carolina 2006: phenominal. Except someone spilled all over himself and the table. I taught the Chileans the phrase "party foul" for that one.
I ended up going to bed at 1:30 am, because I had work in the morning, and didn't win! But, I stayed in there close to the end and taught everyone that even though I'm a gringa and my Spanish isn't the best, I can always keep my pa pa pa poker face on wherever I go...
